10. 2, the mean of Treatments 1 and 2 vs. the mean of Treatments 3 and 4); Contrast 2 compared Treatments 1 and 2; Contrast 3 compared Treatments 3 and 4. In Trial 2, differences between treatments were established by a two-way analysis of variance; mean comparisons were made by Tukey's test. Data on mortality were converted to arc-sine before statistical analysis was carried out. The general linear model procedure of SAS [11] was used.
